Apologies for skipping these yesterday; I was crazy busy at work.
We start with a FANTASTIC Ratcliffe write-up on the incoming DL class.
“I’ll tell you what I like about this class,” Reid said. “We believe that on defense, it all starts up front. When you take a look at some of the players we have signed, there’s great potential to continue what we started this past season.”

Progress on the new what's-his-name.
“I told K.T., ‘You can go other places, but if you’ve got a spot that gets you close to home, you can come home. There’s no reason to go far away if you feel you’ve got that kind of style right there in your back yard,’” Rodney said. “We thought his style was right for what Coach Barbee is trying to bring to Auburn.”

“[The bullpen] did a nice job,” O’Connor said. “It’s going to take a total team effort and I think they’ve built confidence. The success that they had in the Clemson series will give them confidence.”

RTD on the enemy's spring practice
"The Hokies open spring practice today and must rebuild their offense. The focal point of that attack will be junior quarterback Logan Thomas, but with whom will he share the spotlight? ... Tech lost four starters on the line, its top two wide receivers and, of course, NFL-bound tailback David Wilson from last year's 11-3, Atlantic Coast Conference Coast Division championship team."

Tech looks for Thomas's supporting cast | Richmond Times-Dispatch

Like a Broadway show thats already cast its big-name marquee star, the Virginia Tech football team is ready to audition a supporting cast.

Column on the "will they or won't they?" storyline going on in the CAA.
"The most passionate Old Dominion basketball fans have had years of practice despising Virginia Commonwealth, but included in the fear and loathing is an understanding that winters would be a lot bleaker without the antagonistic, spirited relationship between the schools."

Coach Reid is good people.
Also, love what he had to say about Chavis. He and Mike Moore could end up being mythological man-beasts on our DL.

Wow, I hadn't heard about this one. VCU and Mason to the A-10? That would be good for those two programs, but very, very bad for the CAA and ODU especially. Wow.

Realistically if VCU and GMU have no intention of starting football programs, it's probably a good move. The A-10 is probably the top non-football conference in division I, and both would have natural rivals in the A-10 (VCU/Richmond and GMU/GWU.)
At the same time I hope it doesn't happen, because I really enjoy the CAA being such a Virginia-centric conference.
